Create a new initrd image for the required kernel.

Red Hat installation uses the mk_initrd command to create an initrd
image. The following command creates an initrd image for the

<kernel version>smp

kernel in the boot directory. See the

mk_initrd man page for more information. The command is:

#mkinitrd /boot/initrd<kernel version>smp.img.new

<kernel version>smp

Modify the lilo.conf/grub.conf file by adding newly created
initrd(s) as new entries in the /etc/lilo.conf file.

The suggested method is to copy an existing lilo entry in the file and
paste it as a new one. Then modify its kernel image name, initrd
image name, and label name.

Sample Lilo Entry

image=/boot/vmlinux-<kernel version>smp label=linuxnew
initrd=/boot/initrd-<kernel version>smp.img.new

read-only appended=root=LABEL=/ ”

Sample Grub Entry

title Red Hat Linux (<kernel version> with Megasr

driver)

root (hd0,0)

kernel /vmlinuz-<kernel version> ro root=LABEL=/

initrd /initrd-<kernel version>.img.new

Update the boot loader. If the boot loader is Lilo, run the lilo
command to update the boot loader. The lilo command is:

#lilo

10. Reboot the system to the new boot loader entry.
